I hate ICQ......Switch to skype PLEASE
 

Honestly everyone switch over to skype already....

rant over.......

only if it will be eating even more of my computers memory

No, I won't :pimp

Yup it sucks. Has done for years. It's trying to get everyone you need to make the switch though...

I use a Mac and use Adium and it sucks ass. I have started to refuse to talk to people unless they add me to skype lol

I've said it before and I'm saying it again: Skype sucks as IM.
Jabber is better.

resource hog, not going to happen

Not interested in adding another messenger program.

Uggg.... ICQ is for adults.

Skype is for hipsters.

I 've been using both, icq is being shitty lately

We use Jabber for our in house communications, I like it.

To only talk to those on Skype seems a bit silly, especially if you are in a sales position. Why not use all the messengers?

I have Skype going, then Adium which pulls in my ICQ, AIM and Jabber.

Come on TC. You are baller status by now. Get a better machine! :thumbsup:thumbsup

I'm with you here. I prefer Skype but I'll deal with ICQ if it's the only way to get through to someone.

This. I only hop onto ICQ if someone needs me, or I need to get a hold of someone immediately.

E-mail is what I prefer by far.

SKype is great. ICQ is crap. If you must use ICQ use a different client such as Adium. It keeps you connected with ICQ and MSN friends but without all the ads and extra weight.

I prefer mail. ICQ is ok, some clients want a live chat.
Never using Skype for business, everyone assumes you are free to talk / phone chat and I don't have the time for that.

North American webmasters generally use ICQ while foreign skype. The change is slow but it was the foundation of communication - so it will take another few years before the rest migrate over

Replace ICQ with Trillian... It stable, uses less memory and has pretty cool options... I have been using it for years now without any problems...

Did you really laugh out loud when you wrote that?

LOL!

I thought only old stupid people misused LOL, seems you do too!

Well done.

In other news, MSN chat is being moved to skype

I gave in 2 months ago and now leave both on daily

lol has nothing to do with stupidity, it's a matter of context and usability.
Of course you're not going to use 'lol' in a PhD thesis but on GFY is more than fine.

switched to skype years ago , scarlettcontent

you have my vote...

Don't be an ICQ hater, at least you can search your history.... Skype sucks for following up on older messages.

icq is good for me (has glitches from time to time, but all in all good).

baddog, what do you mean resource hog? I mean compared to icq

Is the adult industry keeping ICQ alive? I don't think anyone else uses ICQ unless they're an adult webmaster.

I have to agree with you on the Skype search. Meh.

You think there are millions of adult webmasters in the world?

ICQ is good and does what it's meant to do. No need to switch to any other IM program for this biz.
